I've done this, see the attached patch. (The patch 
debian/patches/101_ion-3-20090526.diff has appararently already been 
applied to notion.)

This looks pretty good:

Here's what Lintian has to say about the package:

W: notion: latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version
W: notion: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/install-notion-cfg
W: notion: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/pwm3plus

The second trivial patch removes a postinst error. With this I'm able to 
install the package.
